With the recent development of technologies in wireless access
and mobile devices, user, terminal, and network mobility has become an
indispensable component of today's Internet vision, and it is likely to continue
in the near future, while affecting the whole architectural design of the future
Internet. Yet, issues like efficient mobility management and optimization,
locator-identifier split, multi-homing, security, wireless access and related
operational/deployment concerns are still in their early stages of development.
Moreover, the Internet architecture, its end-to-end principles, and business
models will require rethinking due to the massive penetration of mobility into
the Internet. For instance, an appropriate system that allows communicating with
a mobile host requires addressing several fundamental issues with the Internet
architecture, such as ability to locate the mobile host/service, preserving
ongoing communications upon changes of locations, as well as efficient and
secure handover management. As another example, the emerging wireless
technologies may pose additional challenges to the Internet architecture since
they introduce design principles different from the original Internet.

MobiArch 2009 welcomes submissions, from both researchers and
practitioners, in exploration of recent advances in architectures, protocols,
and experiences with emerging technologies on various mobility issues over the
Internet, with an emphasis on wireless infrastructures and mobility patterns for
mobility support, new mobility protocols, service discovery, routing and
location management, mobile network performance evaluation and modelling,
multi-homing, security, architectural impacts and deployment considerations.
Furthermore, the potential of usability of mobility services for connecting
people and devices in developing regions of the world into the Internet
infrastructure will be also explored.

Topics of MobiArch 2009 cover all aspects of architectural
issues and system support for mobility in the Internet, including but not
limited to:

•

Impacts of new wireless
technologies/services, networking technologies, and mobility patterns on the
Internet architecture

•

Architectures and
protocols for mobility support in the Internet, ranging from approaches in link,
network, transport to session/application layers and cross-layer design

QoS and middlebox issues
in mobility networks and impacts to Internet architecture

•

Economic and deployment
issues of mobility solutions (infrastructure and devices)

•

Impact of social aspects
on mobility architectures, mobile application and protocol design

•

Technologies for mobile
wireless access and interactions
